موصلق

Ottoman Turkish
موصلق

Etymology

Unknown. According to Tietze, together with the variant مصلاق‎ (maslak) borrowed from Arabic مَسْلَك‎ (maslak, “road, path”). Stachowski derives from the related Arabic مَسْلُوك‎ (maslūk), the passive participle of سَلَكَ‎ (salaka, “to follow a road”). Alternatively, perhaps belongs with the dialectal family of words borrowed from Armenian մսուր(ք) (msur(kʿ), “manger”): Turkish musluk, müslük, musul, müsürlük, musurluk, musur etc. designating a manger and water trough; for these see Bläsing and Dankoff.
